Greek 551-552 Summer Assignment

The entire first quarter will consist of a rapid review of all of last year’s grammatical and lexical material. You’ll have a Google document shared with you by the last week of August that will have all the assignments for the first quarter. All additional assignments will go there and that will be the master syllabus from which all of us will work. If you’d like access to this spreadsheet during the summer, be sure to email Mr. Cox at tcox@heights.edu. If you do not email him, he will ask for your email on the first day of class and grant you access by the end of the first week of school.

There is a Quizlet notecard set that I have made for all the vocabulary in Chase and Phillips. Use it to keep your vocabulary fresh over the summer. My Quizlet decks can be found at https://quizlet.com/class/5587029/.

Your summer assignment is to drill vocabulary, particularly the first three principal parts of all the verbs you have learned thus far, as we will be adding considerably to that foundation and it needs to be strong.

Additionally, I’m asking all of the students to read the Acts of the Apostles in English to familiarize themselves with the stories that we’ll be studying in Greek throughout the year.

The first few days will have a small quiz every day, which will set the tone for the rest of the year wherein every class day will include a quiz. The first three quizzes are as follows:

Day 1 – The Greek Alphabet

Day 2 – The First Declension Noun

Day 3 – Act of the Apostles Quiz (in English)

Obtain and read Seven Events That Made America America: And Proved That the Founding Fathers Were Right All Along by Larry Schweikart (ISBN: 1595230793).

Answer one of the following questions in 3 to 5 handwritten pages citing specific examples and evidence from this book:

1) To what extent did the role and scope of the United States Federal Government change from 1820 to the present.

2) Evaluate to the extent to which individualism has been the dominant philosophy in the United States.

Note: Do not use block quotes, explain in your own words. Referencing the book is good but don’t just quote it- analyze and explain it. See AP Rubric for additional style and content guidelines- Long Essay Question Rubric.

Turn in two Latin DANs (this form contains two) and two Latin Verb Synopses (JV) (this form contains one) per month, on the last day of each month, for a total of six (6) DANs and six (6) JV Synopses, due on June 30th, July 31st, and August 31st. These should be e-mailed to the instructor.

• DANs must have a noun and adjective from different declensions.

Here you may find a sample of a Completed DAN.

Do the six phrases below:

this republic: haec res publica

hic, haec, hoc; res, rei, f.; publicus, -a, -um

that first charge: ille primus impetus

ille, illa, illud; primus, -a, -um; impetus, -us, m.

the very queen who pardons: ipsa regina parcens

ipse, ipsa, ipsum; regina, -ae, f.; parcens, parcentis

a certain king that will return: quidam rex rediturus

quidam, quaedam, quoddam; rex, regis, m.; rediturus, -a, -um

the same oath to be sworn: idem ius iurandum

idem, eadem, idem; ius, iuris, n.; iurandus, -a, -um

that stronger castle: istud castellum validius

iste, ista, istud; castellum, -i, n.; validior, validius

• Synopses must have a regular transitive verb (not an intransitive or a deponent verb).

Here you may find a Sample of a Completed JV Latin Verb Synopsis. Dr. Yaceczko and Mr. Babendreier have different forms—make sure you get the right one:

• Dr. Yaceczko’s Latin Verb Synopsis

• Mr. Babendreier’s Latin Verb Synopsis

Do the six verbs below:

1st: puto, putare, putavi, putatus, think—1st person singular

2nd: doceo, docere, docui, doctus, teach—2nd person singular

4th: aperio, aperire, aperui, apertus, open—2nd person plural

irregular: fero, ferre, tuli, latus, bear (carry)—3rd person plural

This is the minimum. Any DANs and Synopses done over the summer (beyond the minimum) will count as extra credit toward your first quarter grade.

You will have to choose your own words to make these. It is recommended that you choose words from the Dickinson College Latin Vocabulary List.

Turn in two Latin DANs and two Latin Verb Synopses per month, on the last day of each month, for a total of six (6) DANs and six (6) Verb Synopses over the entire summer.

MATH 447-448 Calculus

Mr. Michael Moynihan

Summer assignment

Spend time reading through chapter P (stands for “prerequisites”) in your text, Precalculus 4^th edition by Larson and Hostetler (ISBN 0669417416). These pages are available here: 1300_001 (1). This material should mostly be a review of what you have already covered in previous math courses. As you go through this material, do at least 150 problems from the text. While it is up to you what problems you choose, you will benefit most from this assignment if you choose problems that reinforce areas that need improvement. In other words, if you choose easy problems to simply complete the assignment, you will not benefit as much. You should choose problems that help solidify your foundation.

During the first part of the year we will cover this material quickly. If you do this assignment well, you will find the first part of the course easier. If you come to class without a strong foundation in the material this summer assignment covers, the beginning of the year will be difficult.

I will collect your summer assignment on the first day of school and grade it based on completion and effort shown (students who show their work and choose diverse problems will receive higher marks).

Do practice tests and practice Calculus AB problem sets from your Princeton review prep book all summer long. Stay loose and nimble with the material: there will be an exam on the first day of classes in September (a mini mock AP Calculus AB exam) to see how much you retained over the Summer. It will count as your first exam grade of the year.

2019 Algebra 2 Summer Assignment

No AP Biology summer assignment. However, if you feel you wanted to do something to prepare I would suggest you get a 9th grade biology text (from me), and I would suggest some chapters to read over the summer. Some of these chapters we did not cover in 9th grade. This would be especially good if you have not taken high school biology yet. But there is no required assignment and nothing will be collected at the start of the school year.

Assignments listed below are from Introductory Chemistry: A Foundation, by Zumdahl and DeCoste. (This is the textbook from The Heights’ Introductory Chemistry class; you will receive your AP textbook when school starts.)

1. Make a simple outline of Ch. 20, sections 1-8, 10-13, and 15-16.
2. Do the Self-Check Exercises in those sections.
3. Do the following Chapter Review problems: # 2, 8, 10bc, 12, 18, 22, 26, 28, 36, 40, 44, 50, 58, 60, 68, 70, 76, 78, 80, 84, 86, 88.

I would appreciate it if you would e-mail pictures of your work to pbancroft@heights.edu. If that is not feasible, you’ll need to turn in a hard copy on the first day of school.
